Scent of a Mate blog tour & review

Blurb

Mission: Scent a Mate Jordan Alvarez knew that a promise to
her best friend involved staking out the local wolf pack's scenting ceremony
and recording the graphic details, but she was the writer and the only one with
the balls to finish the task. No one would know that four human women had sneaked
proof of their rituals, or at least, that was the plan until Aric Wolfe showed
up.

Mission: Stake a Claim Aric Wolfe knew his baby sister was
up to something, and expected her best friend, Jordan, to be in on the chaos.
He finally had an opportunity to lay claim to a mate that had been under his
nose for years. Jordan's scent called to both the man and the animal, and he
was done fighting the call of the beast. It was time to mark his mate.

Mission: Survive an Alpha When a good intention creates a
problem for the Wolfe family, Jordan finds herself being stalked by a woman
intent on claiming Aric as her own. Battle lines will be drawn, love will be
put to the test, and Aric will have to fight Jordan's strong personality to
keep her alive. Two alpha hearts seeking control will either find the balance
or risk losing their love forever.

Jordan stood to open the door and her
legs tried to fold under her. Shit, how many glasses had she had? She slowly
made her way to the front door to let her friends inside.

Another round of rings met her at the
door.

“I’m here, cool your heels.”

She jerked the door open and found the
three missing amigas.

Emma’s gaze roamed her face. “Damn,
Jordan, how long have you been drinking?”

She licked her lips, tasting the
residual wine on them. “Not long. Why do you ask?”

Karla tickled her side as she sashayed
past her. “You’re all red in the face. You only get flushed like that when we
talk sex or you’ve had like a ton of wine. We all know that.”

Jordan was probably flushed from all
the thoughts of Aric. Damn man made her get all flustered without even being in
the vicinity. “Get inside and stop whining or you won’t get any food.”

Emma shoved her aside and made a
beeline for the kitchen behind Karla and Nicole. “Thank God. I’m starving.”

Jordan snorted. Her friends would never
change. “Yeah, okay. I didn’t cook this time. Sorry.”

Emma turned to her with wide eyes. “You
mean you didn’t make the flan or the empanadas?”

She shook her head. Her friends loved
the chicken and shrimp filled dough. “Sorry. It was my night off.”

“Since when? You and Ellie are the
cooks. Nicole and Karla are the bakers. And I’m the eater.”

Jordan laughed. “We’re all eaters. I
don’t see a single skinny person here. Now go. We have take-out in the oven.
We’ll eat now that you’re all here.”

She followed the others into the dining
room. For as long as she could remember the five of them being friends, Ellie
had always been the worrywart in the group. Though the others had met the
Wolfe’s back in college, she and Ellie had been friends the longest. It worried
Jordan to see Ellie so quiet. Somehow, she knew that the scenting ceremony was
not as simple for Ellie as she made it sound. While her family may not be
putting pressure on her to mate, it was probably not the case with the others
in the pack.

“Alright! Pizza!” Nicole cheered.

“Thank God. I swear I could eat a
horse.” Emma rubbed her stomach dramatically.

Jordan lifted a brow. “Um, didn’t you
already eat horse when you did that stint in China during your semester
abroad?”

“Hell no. I did take a stab at the
fried bugs, but I just couldn’t go past a single bite.” She wrinkled her nose.

Nicole grimaced. “Damn woman, I
couldn’t even take the one bite. You got bigger balls than me.”

“It has been established that Emma has
bigger balls than most men.” Jordan ran her fingers through her hair.

“Will you all get in here already? You
know I can hear you, and I’d like to participate in how big Emma’s balls are,”
Ellie yelled.

They brought the warm pizza boxes into
the living room. Jordan opened a new bottle of wine and maneuvered it with the
extra glasses onto the coffee table.

“Alright. Now that we are all here, I
need to inform you that Ellie has agreed to let us watch the scenting
ceremony.”

Everyone spoke at the same time.

Emma lifted her wineglass. “That’s
awesome!”

“Finally,” Nicole said between pizza
bites.

Karla laughed. “Leave it to Jordan to
wear the poor woman down.”

“Hey, I resent that. I will have you
know. I did not wear her down. I may have offered my first born, ninety percent
of my paycheck for a year, and a possible front seat to some Broadway show, but
that’s it.” Jordan leaned back on her easy chair, the single item in her house
she’d bought not caring about how it went with the décor. The fluffy chair was
like being snuggled by a giant pair of warm hands. It had an automatic heater
and massager. Hell, not that she’d tell her friends, but one of the reasons
she’d bought it was because the damn thing started vibrating under her ass at
the store. She’d gotten embarrassed and excited at the time. Oh, the
possibilities.

“So,” Emma, the other bossy one in the
group other than Jordan started, “what’s the plan?”

Jordan laughed, holding the glass
of wine by her lips. “It’s going to be a long night.”

Scent of a mate is a sexy, fun and exciting story that sure keeps the reader on their toes! A recommended read for all fans of the genre looking for some extra spice with their shifters ;)

Jordan enjoys her independence. She's been alone practically all of her life. Never having been thin, she's also always been picked on due to her build and they only one to ever defend herself has been...herself. Dreaming of her best friends brother for years, she knows it'll never go anywhere further than friendship. She's just not his type...Aric is his packs future alpha. With that in his future and the necessity of having a mate by his side. He's forced to participate in a sort of mating ritual to help find her. He knows exactly who he wants as his. But it's someone that may not be acceptable by his pack. Will he be able to find a mate that'll please both him and his pack members?I enjoy Milly's work and as always am looking forward to more. Bring it on Milly!
